I was opposed to the legislation requiring letting agents and managing landlords to undertake training to obtain a licence from Rent Smart Wales, but that debate has been had. I have been contacted by several constituents over the past seven days who have reported to me that Rent Smart Wales don’t seem to have sufficient staff to be able to take calls and queries from members of the public. Now, given the fact that the deadline for completing the training and obtaining a licence is fast approaching, can I ask for a statement from the Cabinet Secretary responsible for housing on Rent Smart Wales and their capacity to communicate and take calls and queries from members of the public effectively?
